Bloody hell - didnt think of all that !!!!

[original PM]

My father in law is retired and bored..

So he does most of my DIY!

I do occasionally chip in with a bit of painting but I am better a breaking things than making them!

& Other things to consider

Trace your power lines such as the ones to switches & plugs, turn off the mains then discconect them & re-wire to new locations

If the wall is papered remove paper prior to demo as you will be able to see better any hidden fixings / old works etc

Also consider the floor levels either side of the wall: are they the same? Depending on the wall / house construction you may need to leave the wall in place below the floor to hold up the joists

Where are your light fittings in the two rooms: will you need to relocate or add another to prevent a dark spot?

If the wall is a brick or block construction you will need to make good the joins to retained walls: diamond drill / cut these joints prior to demo

Ceiling height & finishes to the two rooms are they the same? You may end up re-plastering the whole new area

Skirting to the two rooms: are they the same ?

Or just get a quote from a reputable builder & let him worry

Fook... a girlie who can build... my kind of woman

Yeah. As long as she is also blind, deaf, and with no sense of smell or style.

Certainly not interested in your missus

<Takes a bow> why thank you sir (nothing to do with it being my day job )

[psychocandy]

Now that sounds cool - having a female builder in. ;-)

[Troll]

Indeed.

Over the summer, whilst some of the esteemed customers were painting & such like, I noticed a very attractive feminine version of the builder's bum.

Being a Gentleman... did you avert your gaze?
